Background Information

Overview
The Acumen Resilient Agriculture Fund (ARAF) is a $58 million impact fund and the world's first equity fund designed to build the climate resilience of smallholder farmers. Although smallholder farmers produce a third of the world's food, climate change is threatening their lives and livelihoods with devastating impacts. ARAF supports smallholder farmers in Africa by investing in early and early-growth stage agribusinesses that enable them to anticipate, weather, and bounce-back from climate events, resulting in increased yields and incomes. These agribusinesses are backed by passionate founders committed to building profitable and scalable enterprises that prioritize the needs of smallholder farmers.
